Not with the battery I used (the Odyssey PC680). The manual states that any mounting position other than inverted (as in, battery terminals facing the floor) is good.

Apparently my DMM must be too slow to see the cranking amps through the clamp. It does work for DC, I could see the amps moving around in a reasonable range as I turned headlights on/off, etc. But I tried to measure engine start 3 times, and the highest it ever briefly flicked to was 18A, which is way too low. The meter simply lacks the responsiveness.
